No men with magic powers, but it has Bruce Dern, instead.

Looks like it could be interesting.

Val Kilmer and bats. Subtle. Bruce Dern? Always awesome. Despite the home video look to it I'm interested.

I wasn't a fan of the digital effects, but if the film's decent, I can get over it.

Still need to see TETRO, too.

I think it's on Netflix Instant. I need to get to that as well. I wanted to see it in theaters so bad when it came out during the summer, but that would have gotten in the way of TRANSFORMERS 2: ROFL getting extra screenings.

It's nice to see Coppola making movies again consistently.

Huh? Fatass Kilmer and Dern. I'm there.

Anyone else think Kilmer is starting to look like a Japanese Sumo wrestler?

The 'Val Kilmer and Steven Seagal - separated at birth?' comment made me chuckle.

Interesting-looking flick, though.

You bet you do. The most aesthetically pleasing film of Coppola's career, matched with a kind of mixture of joyful comedy and melodrama. Completely loses its way in the last fifteen minutes, but up until that point, it's really as good a film as Coppola's ever made.

Anyway, re: TWIXT, I find the trailer a little lackluster, but have high hopes after YOUTH WITHOUT YOUTH and TETRO. It does seem to have a decent sense of humor about it, and the trailer scarcely lets us in to the story. It seems to be all about the set-up. With the past two films, and now this, Coppola seems to be focused on stories about creators of troublesome great works, works that can't be finished without taking a great toll. (Echoes of his experience with APOCALYPSE NOW?)

That's hardly a recommendation. Coppola doesn't control his films, they control him.

Not a director.

The same could be said of a number of great cinematic artists. Control isn't everything.

True. If it was simply about bringing in a film on time and on budget then Clint Eastwood would be a great director.

And that's even true for producers as well as directors ... else Rick McCallum would be getting the Thalberg award.
